Outcome - Changes in capabilities

                The MENTORING process has been an enabler, a place for DECI-2 mentors to learn and adapt. In some

                cases, we have also witnessed comparable gains in capabilities among some of our partners.



                Figure 5 provides a visual depiction of the capability development changes experienced by the DECI Team.

                Some of the capabilities listed below benefitted the mentors, as well as the partners.   We have compared
                our DECI-2 team’s capability gains with those in the literature (mainly Baser & Morgan, 2008) and we saw
                many similarities including:
